Justin also shared Keaton’s video over his Instagram page, with the sweet caption: ‘You got a friend in me Lil bro! Hit me on dm and we can chat!!! Love you buddy!!’

Justin’s many fans were also sharing the love on the comment section, clearly proud of their musical hero for standing up to bullying.

One person said: ‘This little boy is a hero, he is cool, he is not strange or anything. He is just a overwhelming human being. Hope he will see many many beautiful things in his live, will be loved from many people and hope he will find his own great self-confidence. Justin? This is what makes you being a great boy’.

Justin isn’t the only famous friend Keaton has made since his video went viral. Snoop Dogg has promised Keaton he will be his ‘friend for life’, wisely advising him how ‘love is the only way to beat hate’.

This is particularly touching after Keaton admitted he felt he did not have any friends, after the victimisation he had received at the hands of cruel bullies.

Hopefully the love which is being sent his way will make him realise there are many kind and genuine people in the world who would love to be his friend.
